HTTP & HTTPS

[Stik]

I have been experimenting with demopad and it almost meets all of my requirements, with one essential exception. Unfortunately, in order to remotely use it with my home automation system I require SSL capability. My understanding is that Demopad, in its current form, does not have the capablity to communicate via HTTP. Is there any plan to implement HTTP/HTTPS protocols in the near future or do I need to look elsewhere?

Thanks for the assistance,

The 'send data to website' action type, and the web view UI object are both HTTPS compliant. The standard device supports standard HTTP.

I think he means a remote connection via https.
At the moment the remote connection input for the url does not appear to take https.

Thanks for the replies. I am interested in a HTTPS two-way connection so that I can send a specific HTTPS request which will securely open a subscription and receive feedback remotely. This is for Universal Devices ISY994 Subscription Services if anyone is familiar. I have been succesful soliciting this feedback by setting it up using a host name in the standard device settings, but this only works locally.

The 'send data to website' and web view UI will not, of course, solicit feedback.

I started by experimenting with HTTP and have not been successful creating a HTTP connection to the HTTP address configured in the standard device. I was told that this was because demopad is simply sending TCP to the HTTP address and not really creating a HTTP session. In other words, Demopad does not have the capability to set up remote HTTP/HTTPS sessions.

Any thougths? I am not very knowledgable with regard to these various protocols, so I do appreciate the assistance.

Could we get an update on this issue from Demopad.
Can we setup a remote connection using https or only http by entering the ip address without the leading http://
Thanks.

https: no, only by using the send data to website action type or a web view
http: yes - a http command is simply a TCP socket where data is sent. This is what the generic device does, it just so happens you might be sending HTTP commands, usually on port 80, eg GET /somefile.php?param1=4 HTTP/1.0 etc. If you put in a remote IP address, a remote connection will be established.
